FILE - In this Wednesday, July 25, 2018, file photo, journalists are silhouetted against the logo presenting the 75th edition of the festival, during its presentation in Rome. It may be the oldest film festival in the world but at 76, the Venice International Film Festival is more relevant, and divisive, than ever. Kicking off Wednesday, Aug. 28, 2019, on the sleepy beach town of Lido, this year’s festival has already become a hotbed for discussion about the Oscar hopefuls launching there, its embrace of controversial filmmakers like Roman Polanski and Nate Parker in the #MeToo era and its lack of female directors.
